The Ultimate Guide to Puget Sound’s Best Cideries | Eater Seattle

"More of a compound than a single farm, this family-owned cidery and orchard is surrounded by rolling farmland and native planting and contains pear and apple orchards, a full organic kitchen, indie food stands and trucks, a taproom and cider garden, tasting tours, a large wild field for kids and dogs, and a busy live-music calendar. The taproom typically features two craft beers and 12 of the cidery's own ciders (many of which are not commonly available in stores) and the bottle shop carries brandywines and special releases such as the ruby-red Cherry Bough with cedar accents and Cidermaker Series bottles like the keeved, hay-scented Quimper. Notable on-tap and limited-release offerings include Saffron Solstice (Oregon-grown saffron, fennel, and anise) and Tideline (made from golden russet apples, Nootka rose hips, and Grand fir tips in partnership with Hama Hama Oyster Company). If heading back toward the city, the Chimacum Corner Farmstand across the street is recommended for heirloom veggie and flower starts, organic groceries, and grab-and-go snacks." - Meg van Huygen

The Best Bars and Restaurants in the World: The 2021 Gold List

"This is the loveliest organic orchard and cidery about two hours northwest of Seattle on the verdant Olympic Peninsula. They’ve been at the forefront of the cider revival and they make the most interesting flavors like black currant and habanero. They also have the friendliest staff that will lead you through tastings. It’s an absolutely stunning location to spend a long, lazy afternoon. -Madison Flager" - CNT Editors

4 Best Day Trips from Seattle | Condé Nast Traveler

"Located on a farm outside Port Townsend, the visitor's area here is a covered wooden structure with open walls, offering the best of being inside and out at the same time. With a pizza maker sliding pies into a wood-fired oven in one corner and a bluegrass band playing in the other, the cider is only part of the draw. But you should know that the sparkling stuff you're drinking comes from one of Washington's foremost cider makers." - Jenna Scatena, Allison Williams

My new favorite place. Family friendly farm with cider tastings and food vendors. There are even picnic areas for fuzzy family members. They make a great fire barrell cider and the food was yummy. After a tasting and some food we took a stroll around the beautiful gardens. The perfect way to end a meal.

Charming local farm offering ciders and brews. I visited primarily for the wood-fired pizza from a vendor called Dented Buoy, which was excellent—thin crust, flavorful, and noticeably better than places like Mod Pizza. Unfortunately, I didn’t stay long. The line for drinks was extremely long, and after eating, I was too thirsty to wait. There was live music, lots of kids, and a few young couples enjoying the scene. Be aware: there’s no heat, so it’s not ideal on cold or rainy days. More broadly, after many years of visiting the Port Townsend area, I’ve noticed a general decline in hospitality. Prices are up, food quality is average at best, and the overall vibe from locals feels a bit downbeat. As someone who enjoys cooking, I’ve largely given up on eating out in Western Washington. I can usually make something better at home for a fraction of the price.

Just off the beaten path in picturesque Jefferson County is a sweet little cidery I was fortunate to visit. Fynnriver turns out skookum ciders in so many flavors you are bound to find a favorite. I had the Local Roots which was pleasantly brewed to taste like rootbeer. The establishment has live music, rotating food vendors, a dog park, cornhole, and other fun events. While I was there I watched a well performed play of Robinhood while the sun set behind fields of rad produce. If you find yourself in the area looking to have a great time, look no further!

We visited on holiday and it was worth the trek! We did the farm tour and had an amazing experience with our guide, a Nordic red haired man named cougar who was exactly the type of dude you would imagine working at a remote Washington cidery. He was knowledgeable and clearly enjoyed nerding out over sustainable agriculture as much as we do. The environment was lovely to spend the afternoon, and the food offerings are diverse. All were delicious aside from the pizza, which was only fine. We are so grateful to cougar and the whole team for creating such a memorable experience!

Beautiful view with good drink. Kitchen closed during the weekday, they allowed us to bring food from outside. There is no restaurant close by to buy the food, so make sure you get plan when coming on weekdays.

This place was like heaven when we showed up Saturday evening after a long drive with the kids, staying nearby. Live music, tasty cider, multiple food options all worth sampling. Best part was the kids could play with other kids on the little structure on the lawn and we could relax and enjoy a moment or two as the sunset. Everyone there seemed in a great mood and we closed the evening with a stroll around the orchard with world class scenery views. What an incredible place. We got the kiddos very cute matching t shirts and will remember this evening for a long time.

Great place to stop for some cider! They have a ton of great cider options ranging from dry to sweet and plenty of flavor variations. There is live music and other events some nights, so be sure to check the schedule. (Sometimes there is a cover charge.) There is food available from Finn River itself or a couple other food vendors (ramen, pizza, oysters, etc.) Check the day to see which of those are open. Plenty of seating, some inside, some outside, plus you can walk around the fields if you want some air. There is a dog friendly section, too. Really nice setup.

We stopped at Finnriver after enjoying one of their ciders at a local restaurant—the flavor blew our socks off! Highly recommend getting a flight to taste the variety of flavors. Two of our favorite ciders were the Lavender black currant and Habanero. Food was equally delicious. Added the bratwurst to the kale salad, just amazing. Highly recommend visiting as a fun detour if you’re heading toward or from Olympic National Park.

I hate alcohol. All of it--beer, wine, hard liquor, etc. I'm not a big drinker. But this place? Man, they CHANGED THE GAME. Bf and I took a trip to Seattle and decided to explore the Olympic Peninsula to satisfy my childhood obsession of sparkly vampires and dark, brooding girls who aren't like other girls. We marked Finnriver as a must-visit given the raving reviews, and YOU GUYS WERE RIGHT!! This place is just miles and miles of apple orchards. Gorgeous. Then when you actually walk into the cidery, there's a bunch of little eateries alongside the walkway. We were able to get the seasonal cheese platter with bread slathered in the garlic herb butter (MOUTHWATERING) to have along with our cider flight. My thoughts? BEST THING I EVER DID WAS TRY THIS GODDAMN CIDER. I am so sad I can't have Finnriver's ciders EVERY SINGLE DAY. It is so fragrant, light, and airy, yet leaves such an impression on your tongue. I can't say enough about it! Oh, and staff were incredibly kind and helpful in educating us on the types of cider. They chose our flight flavors for us after asking a couple of other questions, and we were obsessed with all of them! Amazing job.

I have already reviewed Finnriver Farm & Cidery before and each and every time I come here it's a great experience . I was at their Tumwater taproom a couple of times and loved it there as well but they told us that that location has now closed. So bummer. But you can still get their bottled ciders around where I live which is Tacoma. What I wanted to update on for this location was that the owners of Finnriver now also have a brewery just up the road from here. There isn't a separate taproom but you can get their beer here. The name of the brewery is Chimacum Valley Grainery and I got their IPA. This was good one with bite as well as piney, malty, dry and hoppy flavors in this beer. It was really great! Probably what was the top shining winner was getting a glass of their Root Cause cider. It was a spiced, herbed cider that was highly reminiscent of root beer. With root at play it also brought earthiness, sweet and smoky flavor characteristics to this cider. It's also nice and smooth. Definitely another rewarding visit to Finnriver!

Cute place! We came in January and they had the plastic windows down with heat lamps, so the template was comfortable. Ciders were awesome! They had some really fun ones, and some basic dry ones. We each got our own flight and there were still more that we wanted to try. Pizza was...overpriced. If you can, eat before you go because pizza isn't worth it.

What a great place to celebrate my birthday. First time here and we will definitely come back. We didn't eat any food because they didn't have any. But the Service was excellent.

Such a fun place! I can see easily being able to spend a few hours here sampling cider, food, and seeing the farm and cidery. Seems like they often have events happening too, when I was there they had a book/arts sale going on. Really enjoyed getting a cider flight and trying different options! They have unique flavors and I loved the ginger and habanero ciders.

Full disclosure- I adore Finnriver's black currant cider, so I leaped at the chance to visit and try their extensive selection. There were some really great hits - the kiss of blueberry seasonal cider was the clear winner, and the lavender black currant was a fun take on my favorite but perhaps they might ease up on the lavender. It's the other ciders that made me drop a star, however. I prefer mine dry (excepting the black currant) but the various apple focused versions didn't tickle my fancy. Perry was probably the best of the lot. The rest were to...clinical is the word that comes to mind. For reference my favorite dry cider is from Manson - Rootwood Cider to be precise. It manages to be dry without losing that essential apple foundation. So I'll be sticking to the red and black fruit-forward Finnriver versions.

My brothers and I had the best time out here when we were staying in Quilcene for the weekend! The lupines were in bloom, we tasted some blackberry wine and a & I had a dozen oysters from Moonlight Oyster Co. The owner was there & was a joy to hang out with & chat. It's a huge space with plenty of tables to sit & commune rain or shine. If you need to stretch your legs there's plenty of walk area & grass to take a stroll. This is the perfect stop off or lazy weekend chill spot!

I can't wait for the weather to be nicer so I can recreate this picture. Most of the ciders are pretty good and aren't sickly sweet. Finn River is a great place to bring the family too, especially in the summer. Besides the patio seating, the lawn area has chairs, tables, and even some activities. Having delicious wood fired pizza on site is such a smart move. I make sure when I come the pizza is there too.

We purchased a tasting and flights at an auction and finally decided to use it. Fin River didn't disappoint!! Cougar led the tour and he was not only knowledgeable, but extremely friendly. We had lunch in the heated enclosed area. Which also has live music on weekends. The food was yummy and SO flavorful! Most, if not all the ingredients are locally sourced. It's a 1.5 hour drive from Seattle, but WELL worth it!

There are such gems in Washington where everyone is not in a rush. Where people take their time and enjoy the abundance of the refreshing outdoors. Finnriver Farm and Cidery is a place where you can sit back and slow the pace. Heaps of outdoor seating in the shade or sun. Food choices ranging from pizza to ramen. What brought us here was the cider and their fruit brandywine. I'm not one to favor either, but there is something special about their products. Check out their website to learn more about their company! They have a variety of quality ciders and fruit brandywines that can be delivered out of state. Appreciated the careful packaging to prevent breakage during transit. I would recommend purchasing in bulk. I haven't found anything remotely close to what they have created locally. I adore their black currant cider the most. The pear cider comes in as a strong second. Then add a dash or so of their raspberry fruit brandywine with the cider! You can mix and match making your own creation! www.finnriver.com/finnriver-ciders-fruit-wines For the time being we will enjoy their amazing line of goods at home until we can visit Washington again!

The ambience and views in this valley settingare glorious. Stop on your way to Port Townsend and have a cider flight. They also often have live bands, which only adds to the ambience. The food options are a little pricey, so plan accordingly.

What a great place! Step into the farm and into a little slice of heaven with food, drinks, views and vibes! I came here on a birthday trip and can't believe I hadn't heard of it before.The whole space feels very european/ ex-pat in the best way. There are ciders galore, a few beers and cocktails,, plenty of running and play space for children, and plenty of kick back adult space without children too. There is a stage for live music, plenty of food vendors (oysters, pizza, ramen (this felt out of place but was popular at $24) and salads). There's a huge flower garden you can wonder. Cornhole, plenty of seating and shade. I wish I lived closer as I'd be here a lot. As it stands it seems like a great 'once a quarter' day trip/ date spot. I love it here.

My group and I originally wanted to grab some drinks in Port Townsend and then take the ferry to Whidbey Island to make our way up to Deception Pass buuuut time was not in our favor as the sun was starting to set. We decided to backtrack to Kingston ferry terminal and found this little gem along the way! It's located a bit outside of the town of Chimacum on Center Rd. There's a huge unpaved, unmarked parking lot. When we went, it was during a rainy day so the entire lot had a ton of potholes filled with mud and water. There was an indoor seating area where we ordered our drinks and a semi-outdoor seating area with heaters (it was still chilly even with the heaters) and a small stage for live music. During the times of the live entertainment, there's a small fee for the band playing when entering the lot. My friends and I came during one of the live music and had to play even though we sat in the indoor seating area. The indoor seating area had board games for people to play too! I ordered a pre-selected cider flight which changes (not sure how often). The flavors went from driest to sweet: Autumn's Blush, Sun & Seed, Pome & Stone, Cranberry Rosehip, and Black Currant. Honestly, I didn't care for the ciders at all. They just weren't that great. Maybe it's because it's not cider season but the flavors for their flight were either meh or bad. One of them smelled really bad which I could not stomach at all. Overall feeling for the pre-selected flight was a huge meh. Weirdly, on the other hand, my friend got their Pear Cider which was surprisingly good. A TON better than the ones I had. Too bad this wasn't a part of my flight. My boyfriend got a porter and that was good. Can't remember what it was, though LOL. On previous reviews and pictures, I had seen a food stall with oysters from Hamma Hamma and was really hoping the day we went had some as that was the huge incentive of choosing this location. Unfortunately, the stall wasn't there SAD. I guess we visited on the wrong season booo. But there was a food stall with pizza (I believe Dente Buoy?). My boyfriend was curious about the Orchard pizza which had apples and smoked bacon. It was delicious! The apples gave the pizza a sweeter flavor which worked really well. The only downside was how thin the pizza was for the price we paid. But loved the uniqueness of it! The atmosphere here was beautiful! There was so much going on which was nice instead of just having to drink and talk (not that that's bad). There were also families playing on the field that had corn holes and other outdoor games! Maybe I'll come back during summer when the apples are in season and Hamma Hamma is here.

Can be a bit chilly. Although they have heaters, the space is in kind of a wooden structure, and isn't well insulated. This might be a nice place to visit in the spring or summer. We ordered a flight of cider and a bratwurst hot dog. If you taste the ciders in the order they recommend, it gets progressively sweeter and fruitier. It was fun to taste test them with my partner and choose which ones we liked better. The service was fast - the same person took our order and quickly prepared our flight too. My hot dog came out with a hefty amount of sourkraut and mustard. In all honesty, I like the bratwurst from Leavenworth better, but it was able to satisfy my hunger.

There is no better spot for a summer afternoon/evening. The farm is beautiful, the sunset behind the mountains breathtaking. More than that though, this is the best hang out for families, with space for the kids to run around, games including bean toss and hula hoops, etc. But I digress - the CIDER!! OMG so delicious, and so many different varieties from dry and tart to aromatic to sweet. Plus, a variety of great food options - wood fire thin crust pizzas with organic-local toppings , brats and salads and sometimes gourmet tacos, fresh raw oysters, and Fiddlehead (non-dairy) ice cream. When my daughter and family visit each year, this is the #1, can not miss it, destination for them every time they come. This is a very casual, serve yourself and relax kind of spot. Locally owned, farm-sourced. And did I mention music and great cultural events all year long? And rental spaces available for private events. No loose dogs allowed on the farm, but there is a private seating area if you have your dog with you. No trip to the Peninsula is complete if you haven't made a date at FinnRiver. Just sayin'. It's casual, romantic, family-oriented, healthy, fun, and delicious all in one place!

I am not a cider person but I didn't mind getting a beer instead. The place is nice but the prices are way to high. The IPA I got use to be served in a pint. Now is just this little 12 oz. glass! Over price!

We purchased the tour online before arriving there. The tour guide was a nice lady who walked us through the orchard and gave us 6 different kind of ciders. I don't describe each one to not ruin the surprise each drink was unique in its own way. We enjoyed the drinks. After the drink, they asked us which one was our favorite and poured another glass After the tour, we orders a "flight" which was 5 different drink samplers. The 5 samplers was also different than the drinks of the tour, so the variety was pretty amazing. We purchased couple of drinks. I liked the drinks they picked for the tour, and we ended up buying few of them. We also ordered a pizza and two sandwiches. The food was not as good as drinks, but I appreciated that they offer something to eat, since it was a long drive. Overall highly recommend it, but I don't think we visit again.

I had a horribly overpriced pecan burger. For just under $16, I might as well have been eating a hockey puck. The pecan burger was thin, bone dry, and devoid of flavor. The bun was tough and equally tasteless. The token amount of homemade chow chow did little to offer any moisture to this sawdust burger. A dill pickle spear on the side should have been accompanied by a side of potato salad, a small green salad, or some fries. Really??

I stopped by Finnriver Farm & Cidery as part of a detour on my way back home from Sequim. It was such a fun and cute area. When you enter, it's space is set up like a mini outdoor mall. There's a lot of space for kids to roam around and they even have cornhole! I really liked how you could see their flowers and apple trees on the farm. It was very spacious and it felt like you could relax after a long day there. I also enjoyed the live music - they kept the place lively. We ended up getting a delicious flight which featured 5 ciders. We didn't get food, but it honestly smelled amazing and I was nearly tempted to buy a pizza. Parking was super easy and they have their own parking lot. There was a $3 cover charge before entering for the band. Would definitely return again!

Great cider, excellent atmosphere, wonderful food! Came here on a whim tonight with some friends. We had a variety of their ciders. My favorite was the Ginger Cider and Cranberry Rosehips. Ginger Cider was perfectly balance and bright. The Cranberry Rosehip was tart and super crushable. For dinner, I hade the miso mushroom burger special with house fries and pickle spear! It was delightful and I'm still smacking my lips from this tasty meal. You also have options on where to sit. Inside or covered outside with heaters. Very cozy with either option! Try out Fin River if you're in the area!

We came here to take a tour of the cidery. Our tour guid was friendly and informative, the tour last about 90 minutes and they serve you samples throughout, the cost of a tour is only 20$ per person and we'll worth it. After a tour they have a tap room and multiple food stalls to choose from on site. The menu is small but the food is good and locally sourced. Plenty of outdoor seating as well as play areas for the kids and some cornhole and games for adults too. We spent almost three hours here and it didn't really feel like we had been here too long. I definitely would recommend this for a leisurely weekend activity.

Very charming spot. Definately a good stop for your mid way point from Seatac to Olympic National Park. Had the tasting sampler of their hard ciders. The pear was my favorite followed by the saffron. They had a Habinaro one which I would like to try next time. A spacious outdoor area and you can wander around their apple orchard to see all of their apple varieties they are growing. The service was great. Nice and friendly in their tap room. They had a food truck there that day that was serving crepes. Would recommend this spot.

The hippies who run the Finn River Farm & Cidery have really found a cool niche. The ciders are amazing, the food is very healthy but flavor-filled, and the establishment is great for a stroll during the day or live music at night. Although the restaurant is generally all outside, they do indoor/outdoor spaces really well. We didn't have pizza but the outdoor oven will get our business next time. Totally worth making the Finn River Farm & Cidery a stop on any trip to Port Townsend.

Not sure why the host was such a jerk. 1 star for him and 5 stars for being a small business with the most delicious ciders. Hate leaving bad reviews but this guy had left us bad vibes. Not nice, definitely doesn't like kids, and had a bad attitude. Bye boy.

This place is really special - so much so we will drive two hours from Seattle to get here. They are doing COVID safety really well. You stand outside the entrance and get a talk on procedures before you come in. Then you go through a hand sanitizing station and go to your seat - there's tables spaced waaaay out from each other on the lawn and there's tables spaced waaaay out from each other under a covering. Ordering is through a mobile app now and is honestly way less stressful than before. We'd never gotten a taster tray because lines have been so long but ordering online was simple. So we got to try five different kinds of their cider ranging from dry and crisp to sweet but not cloyingly so. This is high quality stuff. We also ordered pizza from Dented Buoy which was the perfect balance of toppings and a thin crisp crust. All that is great but the atmosphere is even better - you are in a beautiful farm relaxing and enjoying great food and drink and you have the chance to walk around the orchard when you are done, too. Definitely stop by if you are near! Or even be like me and drive two hours to get here.

This place would be epic in summer! The grounds are so beautiful and perfect for large groups. They are doing an amazing job during Covid with QR code's, limited seating, outside dining area available and hand sanitizer station. They don't have the outside heating available but do have pretty outside lights. Unfortunately since we're in the tail end of Fall the weather has turned quite chill so you need to wear thermal underwear, down jackets, beanie and gloves to sit outside. The dry cider was delicious - I can see why their cider is so popular. I recommend buying some to go and enjoying it inside your warm home.

We first heard about Finnriver Farm & Cidery as they were a vendor at the Bellevue Farmer's Market when the market was held in downtown Bellevue. Since then, we had become fans of Finnriver cider, so made it a note to visit when in the area. While traveling around the Olympic Peninsula, we stopped by Finnriver Farm & Cidery on a late Saturday afternoon. It was easy to find in the small town of Chimacum, with plenty of designated parking. When we arrived, there was a line outside the door, as they were enforcing a certain limit of persons in the cidery. For the two of us, it was only about a 15-minute wait. The space was beautiful. Before we were escorted to our table, we were told that we could wash our hands or use hand sanitizer in the outdoor sink, which is near the entrance. Then, we were able to be seated in a covered outdoor area that looked out to the farm. Because we had our dog with us, we were unable to sit out on the farm grounds, which is the best seating in the house. But we were just glad that they did allow us to bring her, as they only allow small dogs here. The menu was found from scanning a QR code, which was also where we ordered and paid out from, which minimized interaction among staff. My boyfriend and I shared a flight and a lavender cocktail, which didn't take long to get after we ordered. The flight is the best way to try all the ciders here. My personal favorite is their seasonal, a lavender and black currant one, but there's something for everyone here. Some of the ciders are on the sweeter side, yet more dry ones can be found here, offering a good range of flavors. They also had a small food menu, as well as a pizza vendor on site, which made wood-fired oven pizzas. Yet, what's especially cool about Finnriver is their commitment to using organic and seasonal products. I encourage everyone who visits to tour the grounds once you're finished drinking, to see the different fruit and products planted here. This was a nice stop on our road trip around the Peninsula. For anyone who likes ciders, Finnriver is one to check out, in a welcoming setting, with friendly staff and flavors worth checking out.

What a cool place!!! So unique and accommodating. Relaxing environment. The live music was impressive. They had a show for families on their lawn. There was a reasonable cover charge. The cider is unique. I recommend a flight until you find one you love. Each flavor is different and you might not love them all, but I am glad I tried them. They have different food stations: ramen, pizza, oysters, gelato. High quality. I was very impressed with the thin crust pizza. Great flavor. The customer service was great. They give you undivided attention when helping you and seem sincerely kind. They offer tours with tastings. There is plenty if parking. ADA accessible, but note dusty and slightly uneven floors may need caution if you are non ambulatory. A strongly recommended experience for those that like cider or just want a cool chill experience.

Step back in time to the day of coops and hippies. This is a great place to see how the apples are grown and made into cider, then to sit back and taste the cider. We were here in February where all we could really do was taste the cider and imagine a warm summer night overlooking the orchards. It's a lovely experience. We did take home some bottles of their finest cider.

Ambience, ambience, ambience. Wow what an ambience they have created. An evening spent in the cider garden is an evening well spent. There's live music, great views of the farm and the hilly countryside. The service is also quick and efficient. Goes without saying, but the ciders are class apart. The only thing that was a little underwhelming was the relatively few options for food. The menu is quite small. I believe in pre-covid days they had more food vendors and more options. Hoping that comes back soon. Overall, I would definitely recommend visiting this place while you are in this area.

The husband is just absolutely obsessed with this cider. Since tasting their black currant at one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Olympia a few years ago, we always have to have it stocked in our fridge. I was paroozing on Groupon a couple months ago and discovered a tasting package. Being the super wifey that I am I obvi got it to surprise him. Our cider baby friends had to get in on it as well and before we knew it, we had a whole Saturday caravan. Even though I'm not a big cider drinker myself, I immediately fell in love with this cidery. Nestled in beautiful green hills with mist clinging to the green backdrop, this farm is a perfect place to spend the day. They have a large field in the back with games and activities for the kids so the parents can get fershnickered in peace while watching their little ones enjoy the natures. The rustic decorations help set the mood and with all the snacks available that mood quickly becomes all about the noms. They have a general menu available with gluten free options and then in addition they have local vendors that alternate selling their delicious bites. There's a building for ordering the cider and for a very enjoyable guided cider tasting, and another enclosed space with heaters and picnic tables for eating. We did the guided cider tasting which was fun and informative and then grabbed some glasses of cider and gf pizzas and went out to enjoy the live fiddle music. After this, we had to have a flight tasting, which is where the guys discovered they were crazy for their sours too. It took some time to pull them away from the register as they stocked up on a haul of ciders, sours, and some delicious brandy infused bottles. With all of their community events and activities they hold here, I know well find our way back soon..sooner if our cider reserve starts looking a bit sparse.

Go for the atmosphere, leave before the cider. We came in good spirits and even opened a tab, hoping to stay a while and find some great tastes. We ordered a flight, which they preselect for you. Simply put, they were awful. My wife joked the last in the flight should be Listerine. I was thinking more a spittoon. Look, the place is cute, there are some food options. I wish it was better. Oh, and there r labels are cute. And there's a gluten free cinnamon roll lady - they were really good! Okay, I'll bump up tie review to 2 stars.

A little crunchy, a little fun and the worst cookies you will ever have! We stayed for a while and sampled through their local offerings of crispy cider. The staff was friendly and very strict on the covid guidelines and staying at your table. The phone ordering was seemless through the barcodes on the table. The food was good. We had the pretzel, the bratwurst and their seasonal pizza. I never thought to put apples on a pie but it oddly worked. The chocolate chip cookie was the killer. Some buckwheat and dark chocolate monster served stone cold on small China. What is that? The cookie abomination aside, we had fun walking the orchard and bothering the geese. The downside being it has grown into another super political monster in the community. The food is great but shouldn't come with a side of political agenda. If you live your values, they will reflect. Super fun and will be back!

I am a fan of this place! It has been on my radar for a while now, but I haven't had a chance to go till this past weekend. A handful of my friends have been here before and have told me about it but for some reason it kept getting put at the bottom of my list. We skipped Finnriver last time we were around the area due to the place not allowing dogs/not dog friendly and we usually have Cody's lab with us. So dogs are not allowed inside the facilities, but they do have a side yard where you can walk your dogs. So we kept the pups inside the car for an hour while we headed inside to grab some food and drinks. I got: - a cider flight $12 We went on a Saturday and they had a Hama Hama Oyster stand in which we ordered: - 1 dozen raw oysters $28 - 1/2 dozen grilled oysters $18 - 1 more dozen grilled oysters $30 The grilled oysters were so good, 1/2 dozen was not enough so I went back and ordered another dozen! the venue is great. My friends got a pizza too. The ciders were tasty as well. Great place to stop at on the way to Port Townsend!

One of my favorite places to visit! From the cider to the wood burning pizza, it's the best! Love music, plenty to do with the family, we love this place!

After reading the reviews i thought i would try Finnriver. I was terribly disappointed with the service and the food/cider. Both the cider and food was way overpriced, the variety of food was very limited and the cooks seemed they did not want to be there. I would not recommend going to this place as there are many other places with much better service and product. Drive a little more and go to Port Townsend.

I was staying in Quilcene for the weekend and wanted some Hama Hama oysters but also wanted to go to the north of the peninsula. Happily for me, rather than having to detour down south to Hama Hama, I found out that they sell at Finn River on the weekends! We ordered a dozen raw oysters from the Hama Hama stand as well as three crab cakes. I'd had Hama Hama oysters in Seattle before, but they seemed even better served fresh just off Hood Canal. The taste was so good I didn't even need the vinegar garnish at all. The crab cakes were a crumbly little delight. There were four of us, so to fully fill our bellies, we topped things off with two pizzas from another weekend farm vendor, Dented Buoy. Dented Buoy sells wood-fired pizzas. We had a rainbow veggie one and another that was just classic pepperoni. I appreciated that the crust was so nice and thin. The pizzas were also sauced just right so that it wasn't like some wood-fired ones that feel like you are eating a cracker. I probably preferred the pepperoni to the veggies, but only slightly. The only reason I'm marking down from five stars is that my group didn't love the cider flight we had. Maybe our palates are just a bit too used to sweeter and fruitier ciders, but it seemed most of us only enjoyed maybe one or two of the five ciders in our flight. The flavors were rustic and simple without much fruit at all.

Finnriver has created a beautiful place to relax with your friends and loved ones with a laid back/comfortable feel to it. Casual seating is scattered across the venue, giving you choices for table seating, lawn seating, or you can participate in a game of cornhole with your friends! You never feel crowded and can relax. There is a walk-up window for cider on draft or you can try flights. The same window can be used before you leave to take home bottles of your favorite libations after tasting. If you are going to eat, be prepared to use your cell phone via the QR code at your table. Although this "contactless" method is a welcome process during COVID, I had to use someone else's phone in our party to order and pay, as my phone is (sadly) not up with the times ! The menu is VERY limited. If you are a carnivore, you may have to settle for the pretzel or brat, as there are no meat choices. I had the salad, which was very good and fresh, but pricey for the size ($12.50). There is a separate wood-fired pizza booth there but it was confusing how you ordered, as the QR code for pizza did not work, and the pizza guys looked bored playing their guitars. The only thing that is sad is the parking-very tight/small, as I'm sure it was made before they started getting the larger crowds. The many Tesla's in the lot (we counted at least 5) are a testament to Finnriver's potential to become a serious contender in the hot cider market for the out of town day trippers!

Had a great time checking out Finn river farm! Enjoyed a cider flight. Wish they had it marked as a reminder on the wood or placemat since they look so close in color! Great vibe and enjoyed the pretty weather!

Really cool place and lovely setting. We had brunch right before coming, so didn't have any food. We ordered both flights and there were a couple I didn't like, a couple I really liked, and the rest were ok. I don't remember the names - it would've been helpful if they had it marked. They also had vegan ice cream that day which was yummy.

This place never fails to deliver a wonderful time. I live in Bremerton and my husband and I don't even mind the nearly hour drive each way to come spend a relaxing evening here. The ciders are incredible! They have such a wide variety -- there is something for everyone's taste. There are also pizza, ramen, ice cream and oyster food vendors on location. Finnriver has a restaurant with a small selection of delicious foods as well. I went on an orchard tour for the first time yesterday -- fun and informative! Our guide Sawyer was extremely knowledge about the history of apples, and the varieties they grow at Finnriver. I bring anyone who visits us to this place. It really is something special.

This is the best day! Relaxing outside with a live band, the cider is amazing and the folks that work here are even better! Enjoy every minute!

Finn River is a MUST GO TO if you're in the area. In fact, it's worth the drive for a day trip too. Not only are the ciders all amazing, but so is the pizza. This is a great place you can come with the kids (as long as it's nice weather) because they can play outside.

Amazing setup during pandemic: they have a lady in the front instructed everyone how to use the facility, there is a hand wash station right before you walked in, you have a QR code at each table to scan and order online and they will bring foods and drink directly to your table. No need to move around at all. Love their new menu with couple options to enjoy cocktails made from cider! Highly recommend.
